FROM WIKIPEDIA ABOUT THE TRACHODON:Trachodon (meaning \"rough tooth\") is a dubious genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur based on teeth from the Campanian-age Upper Cretaceous Judith River Formation of Montana, U.S. It is a historically important genus with a convoluted taxonomy that has been all but abandoned by modern dinosaur paleontologists.NOTE: I am a longtime Seller and Buyer, with an excellent reputation and response.
